Good Shepherd Lutheran Church

One can hear the parable of the last judgment and think it is about getting saved by our works. Nothing could be more wrong! Those who are saved don't know why--they were just doing what felt right to them. As disciples, they saw God's goodness even in the poor and ministered to them. Those who are condemned would have acted differently if they knew their king was served as they served the poor. But they didn't see the image of God in the poor and so they ignored them. Jesus is still inviting the Jewish leaders to repent!
